# How To Make It:

06 - Transfer risen dough to prepared pan and gently press into an even layer reaching the edges; sprinkle additional cornmeal over the top.
07 - Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and allow the dough to rise for 30 to 40 minutes until puffy.
08 - Set oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat.
09 - Place pan in oven and bake for 18 to 22 minutes until the surface is golden brown and the dough is fully set.
10 - Allow baked dough to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
